I'll end on this, America doesn’t answer to a king. America answers to working people.

He wants to talk about "jobs" well, January saw more than 100,000 announced layoffs—the highest single-month total since 2009. This economy is working exactly as President Trump and his allies designed it to: billionaire bosses are pocketing trillions while working people fight to survive.

The horrifying acts of the Trump administration’s militarized immigration enforcement are not about safety. They’re putting innocent people in danger and they’re trampling on our fundamental rights and freedoms.

An immigrant doesn’t stand between you and a good job. A billionaire does. A Trans kid doesn't stand between you and a good education. A billionaire does. It's almost like they will point the finger of blame at anyone but the billionaires...

mail in ballots has been incredibly successful in ensuring every American can vote and there is no evidence that anything close to mass voter fraud is real. They want to make it harder for working Americans to vote. Full stop.

Our SMART union brother Kilmar Abrego Garcia and his family suffered unimaginable pain when he was illegally deported and detained for months. Every American who believes in the rule of law should recognize that ICE has gone too far.

An injury to one is an injury to all. America’s unions will keep peacefully mobilizing and organizing to stand up for our immigrant union siblings across the country. We’ll never be divided by this administration’s strategy of fear.

How Social Security has gotten worse under Trump Customer service deteriorated by key measures as the agency enacted sweeping cuts in Trump’s second term, internal data and interviews show.

How has President Trump threatened Social Security? Let us count the ways. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Nobody should applaud policies that throw people off their health insurance or bankrupt them with medical bills. Good, affordable health care is a basic human right.

Let's talk about what is causing a problem: The Trump admin let the ACA tax credits expire. Now health insurance bills are more unaffordable than ever—1.4 million FEWER people signed up for ACA health coverage this year. All of us will pay more for that, no matter what kind of insurance we have.

An immigrant doesn’t stand between you and a good job. A billionaire does.

Fact Check: Unlike the permanent tax breaks given to billionaires, Trump’s “No Tax on Tips” policy ends in 2028—and the savings don’t come close to covering the higher health care costs we’ll pay from that big, ugly bill.

Wait, I thought he cared about women's sports...

Every day in the Trump economy, working people are struggling to get by and he calls this "winning." Rent, groceries, health care prices—all skyrocketing, while giant corporations and rich CEOs make even more money.

America’s unions are fighting to level the playing field for working people.

Workers across the country are fighting to make ends meet... and Trump calls this the "hottest economy" .... okay 🙄

Let’s be clear: Under the president’s leadership, working families are struggling. Health care costs are spiking. Prices are going up on rent, groceries, utilities and more. Workers are fighting for crumbs while billionaires and corporations get richer.

Despite White House claims that we are in the “golden age,” working people aren’t buying it. Fifty-four percent disapprove of the president, with the majority of Americans blaming his policies for the poor economy.

Don’t let the name fool you—there’s nothing beautiful about a bill that guts Medicaid, slashes public services, and hands tax breaks to billionaires.

The “Big Beautiful Bill” is a direct attack on the working class. #HandsOffMedicaid #ThisBillKills

No matter where we live or work, billionaires and those in power often try to silence workers organizing for dignity and justice. @solidaritycenter.bsky.social stands with those workers and that’s why they’re a vital part of the global labor movement. #WorkersRights #Solidarity

Workers Memorial Day is a day to remember those who have died on the job & to reflect on workplace safety.

Trump’s cuts will make jobs less safe -- by gutting the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), workers will lose safety protections & more workers will get hurt.

This is what we’re up against: the rich trying to buy public policy. Whether it's Elon offering $1 million to voters in Wisconsin or landlords paying folks to fake grassroots support in Concord, the wealthy are no longer pretending to play fair.

‪This Saturday, April 5, unions across the country will come together w/ allies to send a message to the federal government: #HandsOff our unions & contracts!

More than a century ago, American workers fought and died to win the right to organize and collectively bargain. Today, more workers than ever say they want to be part of a union. Yet workers who try to organize are routinely intimidated and fired while they attempt to unionize and face corporations unwilling to bargain even once the union is established. AB 288 ensures that workers can enforce their right to organize and build a better life as federal labor law was intended to do. - Lorena Gonzalez, President of the California Federation of Labor Unions, AFL-CIO

Workers have the right to organize. PERIOD. #AB288 by @asmtinamckinnor.bsky.social ensures that there's a backstop for all CA workers trying to organize! @teamsters.bsky.social

Screenshot of the AFL-CIO's statement condemning the Trump administration's executive order stripping collective bargaining and union rights from workers across the federal government.

Stripping collective bargaining and union rights from workers across the federal government is the very definition of union busting — and a blatant attempt to silence us.

We will fight this outrageous attack on our members with every fiber of our collective being.

Statement by the @californialabor.bsky.social: Illegally stripping federal workers of their collective bargaining rights is union busting at an unprecedented level.

We will not sit back and let working people’s rights be destroyed.

Last night we had our second meeting of Contra Costa’s Coalition of Labor Union Women. Together we are working to build power and connections for women in the labor movement. We are committed to supporting and mentoring each other and leading to support all working women.
